Norman, OK – The Music Moves Mountains Foundation is hosting a tribute concert to celebrate the late-great, local music hero Jesse Ed Davis on Sunday, December 1st, 2024 at The Standard from 3-6pm to raise funds for a music scholarship for Native musicians in his honor. The concert will bring together Oklahoma legends and Indigenous musicians including Terry Tsotigh & The Redmen Blues Band, AJ Harvey, Mike Hosty, Terry Buffalo Ware & The Sunday Flyers, Felix Linden (aka Flea), Chebon Tiger, Scott & Kody Keeton with Nathan Roberts, The Beatle Boys with Robbie Egle (The Options) and Jade Castle, and special guests The Redstone Singers (Kiowa/Anquoe family drum group) who will open with a few traditional honor songs. Dr. Douglas Miller, the author of the upcoming Davis biography “Washita Love Child: The Rise of Indigenous Rock Star Jesse Ed Davis” and co-producer of an archival LP set of unissued music by Davis titled “Tomorrow May Not Be Your Day,” will be present to sign and sell copies as well as perform. MMMF will be accepting donations (suggested $20) and offering silent auction items to support the scholarship fund and the band. The Standard https://www.thestandardnorman.com/ is a community-oriented, family-friendly restaurant and beer garden located at 315 E. Gray St., Norman, OK. For those who are unable to attend, donations can still be made here: https://musicmovesmountains.org/give/
About JED: A Norman, Oklahoma native and an alumnus of OU, Jesse Ed Davis conquered the world by becoming THE most sought-after guitar player for a who's-who of Rock, Blues, Country, and Pop icons in the 60s/70s/80s - and recorded three solo albums with many of those icons guesting. Music royalty like John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Taj Mahal, Harry Nilsson, Keith Moon, The Faces, Leon Russell, Jackson Browne, Levon Helm, Gene Clark, Gram Parsons, Steve Miller, John Lee Hooker, BB King, Albert King, Ry Cooder, Leonard Cohen, Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, Cher, and so many more recognized his brilliance and gave him a platform – yet he remains virtually unknown in his own hometown. One of the first Native Americans (Kiowa/Comanche/Muscogee/Seminole) to gain mainstream success, Davis was inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame, Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, and the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. "Jesse Ed Davis: Natural Anthem," a career-spanning exhibition celebrating his life and legacy opens to the public at the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa on November 15th, curated by Joy Harjo and Dr. Douglas Miller. A tribute concert featuring Jackson Browne, Taj Mahal, Joy Harjo and the Graffiti Band is set for February 6th, 2025 at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. A documentary of Davis is also in development by Peabody Award winner Sterlin Harjo (Reservation Dogs, The Sensitive Kind). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Ed_Davis
